Cask 82 Ale & Table, sister company to the Crushed Can Rec Room & Bar, will host their third annual pre-holidays indoor craft market from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 16, featuring mostly local, artisanal hand-crafted goods.
"This is an idea that we started a few years ago because it was the end of the pandemic and we wanted to give people a chance to come out and showcase the items they've been working on," explained Kelli Martinson, manager at the Crushed Can.
"Mostly, we like to focus on the handmade stuff, but as a small business ourselves, we wanted to help out other small businesses and let them have a venue for their products."
There are 15 vendors this year, who will be setting up on tables both upstairs and down, including some of the establishment's dance floor space:
- Epoch Crochet
- Final Cut Wood Crafts
- Little Things By T
- Knotty Bobbi's Macrame
- Dirty Girl Soaps & Scrubs
- White Lotus Candle Co.
- J's Lakeside Designs
- Sadi-Rose
- Norwex
- Prairie Burn Candles
- In My Head Designs
- Mi Dektree Designs
- Maylene Rose Thriftology
- Created Simply
- Cute Little Things MJ
"The vendors have always been so great and appreciative, so it's rewarding to be able to help them out with this space," Martinson said. "We are pretty excited this year because this is the most vendors we've ever had. There is no admission fee like a lot of craft shows, we're not doing that, and there will be tons of door prizes throughout the night, as well, with products all courtesy of our vendors, so that will be really fun."
Martinson said customers have been loving the craft market and the chance to get a jump on Christmas shopping. And, of course, there's also the chance to grab a drink and a bite to eat while shopping — the full menu will still be available.
Cask 82 and the Crushed Can are at 82 Manitoba Street West. Anyone wanting more information or interested in participating in the craft market for next year can call them at 306-313-8282.
